What to Serve at Luncheons One of the problems in preparing a luncheon is what kind of a tasty yet dainty salad can be served? The question has been solved for members of the Union Extension club. Their leader, Mrs. Rihn. aided by Mrs. Atteberry, gave a splendid demonstration of the art of salad making. The three salads made were Golden Glow, Cheese and Chocolate Sponge. The basis of the salad is Jell-O. Many different kinds may be made by adding combinations of either fruits or vegetables to the Jell-O. Salads made daintily are very pleasing and because of the fruits and vegetables are very healtful. For refreshments, the three salads were served with sandwichs and coffee. The club met at the home of Mrs. Lou Comer on Tuesday afternoon, March. Mrs. Win Crawford was as sistant hostess.: This lesson closed the course in "Food and Nutrition." For Sale.

BOOKED TRACY BROWNS' 0KLAH0MANS FOR APRIL 4 Tracy - Browns' Oklahomans are coming back to Plattsmouth to play for another big mid-week dance giv en by the American Legion, accord ing to announcement just made by the committee in charge of booking arrangements. Their next appearance here will be on Thursday, April 4th. This be ing in the week following Lent, it is expected they will draw an un usually large crowd from over the wide territory that is wont to furnish patrons at the Legion s mid-week dances. Last Wednesday night, a number of couples were here from down below Syracuse, who had heard an errouneous announcement in Ne braska City that the Tracy-Browns' orchestra would be here then, and they were keenly disappointed on ar riving here to find the hall dark and no dance planned. The Oklahomans are one of the best dance bands in the middle west and proved highly pleasing to the dancers on their prior visit here a few weeks ago. Nearly half of their eleven musicians were here a year and half ago for the grand opening ball in the new Legion building, as members of the original Tracy-Brown band, which was later built up to a recording band and is now playing an extensive engagement in the east. Among them is "Little Wayne Var ganson" the popular entertainer. ATTEMPT TO SAVE BARBER SHOPS FOR MEN DEFEATED St. Paul. Minn., March 25. A valiant attempt to save barber shops for men was made today In the Minnesota senate. Senator L. P. Johnson told the senate that a man hasn't a chance n a barber shon anv more, now that women have invaded its once sacred precinct in such numbers, and he ask ed for legislation which would cause the women to get their hair cut in hairdressers' estiblishments. Bue he went to Ignominious de feat. The senators passed a bill which would prohibit "the slight trimming of hair" which hairdress ers now can do. If the house accepts the bill the women must get their locks trimmed at barber shops. TEAM WORK Any kind of team work. Call phone 493-W. m27-2wd.

The intention of the city was t have persons having waste, debr! ; and old junk, drive as far east o:i j the dump road as possible to leave ut instead of doing that! positing their rubbish, ! their refuse, b the parties de decayed vegetables, and far worse. dead animals, have stopped along the road that is used to reach the farms and the pump house located farther norfn and also near the ferry road. Here can be found a choice assortment of odor producing refuse and yesterday there was placed there a dead hog to add to the disagreeable and sickening condi tions. The dead hog was left along the roadside without any apparent re gard for the comfort of those who might have necessity to use the road and the odor was such that the whole locality was made aware of the fact that the dead animal was in their midst. The residents along the bottom land east of the railroad tracks have been much aroused over the incident and are taking the matter up with the county as well as the city auth orities to secure if possible some re lief and the elimination of the ha bit of dumping anything that might be brought along the roadway that it is necessary for the residents to travel. It would seem that the in ceneration or burying of the dead animals would be a necessity from a health measure and they not be unloaded just where anyone happened to stop along the rdad. There is a state law regarding this offense and the county attorney is" nvestigation the matter to secure if possible the conviction of the partieg that have made the dumping ground a place to deposit the dead animals. The place is far from a place of beauty at the best but with the animals left exposed there is a real menace to those who have homes near there or have occasion to pass along the roadway HANDS OFF POLICY KEPT Havana, March 25.
